Kamala Harris Says Dems Should “Exploit” Packing SCOTUS to Give Puerto Rico and DC Statehood, “Look At” Abolishing Electoral College – Admits Why She Actually Lost in 2024

Failed Presidential candidate Kamala Harris did an interview with disgraced ex CNN host Don Lemon on Friday, where she admitted her radical agenda for the White House if she runs again, which is likely. 

Harris signaled in April that she may run for president again.

She told Lemon that she wants to pack the Supreme Court with four more justices to pass far-left policies like DC and Puerto Rico statehood, which would give the Democrats four more Senate seats.

On the Supreme Court, she said, “I’ve been saying for quite some time I think that we absolutely have to explore what we need to do because of this Supreme Court and what it has done to destroy so many of the elements of the Constitution that were designed to protect, in particular, the minority, those who were marginalized, including expansion of the Supreme Court.”

“I absolutely believe that we should be exploiting that, and the idea of 13, I agree, because there are 13 circuit courts, 13 justices. I think that we should be looking at statehood for Puerto Rico and DC. I think we should be looking at when we win the majority in the House and in the Senate for the Senate Judiciary to have and to create rules that include that if there is a nominee to the Supreme Court before them, who is clearly lying that there be some consequence, and that we say to Democrats, at the very least, who are members of Senate Judiciary, that you need to be prepared to actually put some rules in place and enforce them if people come before you and are breaking the ethical rules of responsibility around taking an oath and telling the truth to that committee,” she continued.

“I think there’s a lot of work that we need to do, including considering an expansion of the court, yes.”

Ellison lashes out at reporter over $8B fraud question

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison snapped at a reporter regarding his handling of the Minnesota fraud scandal after Vice President JD Vance demanded Ellison to be investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) amid a widely reported $8 billion Medicaid fraud scheme.

After a Fox News reporter inquired if there was anything Ellison would have done differently prior to the $8 billion fraud accusations, the attorney general replied quickly.

“So, that is a false number,” Ellison said. “The fact is, is that fraud is always wrong.”

“Why don’t you give me a break, man?” he continued. “Fraud is always wrong. We prosecute over 341 cases of Medicaid fraud.”

When the reporter stated he had wanted Ellison to clear up the number and was citing a variety of reports, Ellison continued to accuse the journalist of biased reporting.

“The number you mentioned is tightly identified with people of a very unique political persuasion—aligned with the Trump Administration,” the attorney general claimed

“It’s wrong though. And if you’re a real reporter, you should know that,” he said, pointing to the Fox News reporter.

“So, I’m done talking to you,” he snapped. “Bye-bye.”

The $8 billion figure has been frequently referenced by the House Oversight Committee as well as First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, who have stated that potentially billions of dollars were lost to fraud in Minnesota’s public assistance programs.

Thompson stated that investigators believe that about half of the $18 billion paid through 14 Medicaid programs since 2018 could have been part of a major fraud scheme.

The scandal captured national headlines due to congressional probes and numerous major fraud cases tied to federally funded programs in nutrition, education and Medicaid. Prosecutors also claim several nonprofits tapped off millions in taxpayer funds through sophisticated schemes, many of which expanded amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prominent examples, such as the Feeding Our Future scheme, have been linked to Minnesota’s Somali community. Investigators for the House Oversight Committee have also asserted that Ellison received several warnings about widespread fraud years before the scandal became public, based on interviews with state education, human services and executive branch officials.

Drag Queen School Board Member Arrested For Child Sex Crimes Was Guest Speaker at Pennsylvania Democrat Caucus in 2024

The perfect Democrat.

New York State Police arrested a drag queen school board member on Thursday for child sex crimes.

46-year-old Travis Longo, who goes by the stage name “Anita Buffem,” was arrested and charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

According to police, Longo engaged in sexually explicit communications with a child under the age of 12.

Longo was elected vice president of the Board of Education for the Cazenovia Central School District in 2024 – and is STILL a member.

“Anita Buffem” was previously a guest speaker at the Pennsylvania Democrat Caucus in 2024.

Of course he was.

“The arrest was the result of a joint investigation conducted by members of the Troop D Bureau of Criminal Investigation (Oneida), the State Police Computer Crime Unit (Troop D), the New York State Police Special Investigations Unit, and the Madison County Child Advocacy Center,” New York State Police said in a press release.

“Investigators determined that Longo engaged in a pattern of sexually explicit communications with a child under the age of 12,” police said.

Police said there may be more victims and encouraged them to contact authorities.

“Investigators believe there may be additional victims who were contacted by Longo and ask anyone with information to contact the New York State Police at Troop D Headquarters at (315) 366-6000 and reference case number NY2600762245,” Police said.

Longo bragged about his speaking gig at the 2024 Pennsylvania Democrat Caucus.

Schumer Admits the Democrats have Embedded 25 Million Illegitimate Voters in US Voter Rolls

HOLY CRAP. Sen. Chuck Schumer just sounded the alarm that the SAVE America Act will REMOVE “25 MILLION PEOPLE” from the voter rolls

Keep in mind, the bill is for voter ID and proof of citizenship

If true, that means 25 MILLION people are illegals or not eligible citizens without ID!

Chuck is either making crap up or HE KNOWS THERE ARE 25 MILLION ILLEGALS VOTING

Which is it, Chuck? PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!

The worst state may be California, where up to 1 in five voters are likely invalid voters.

As previously noted and consistent with Schumer’s remarks, the biggest reason for not certifying California’s election results has to do with voter rolls.  One study estimated that 3.8 million records in California’s voter rolls are non-citizens.  With 22.6 million registered voters in the state, this is 17% of registered voters.

This estimate was determined by comparing individuals registered in the voter rolls that were born outside the US with the number of individuals who legitimately gained US citizenship.  The number of foreign-born voters registered in recent years far exceeds the number of naturalized citizens.  The cause of this difference is that in California, individuals who apply for drivers licenses are automatically added to the voter rolls (Motor Voter).  Many of these individuals are not US citizens.  This and the barriers to verifying citizenship have led to millions on the voter rolls who aren’t US citizens.

Black Democrats Attack Longtime Dem Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for Decision to Run in District with Large Black Population

Grab some popcorn!

Black Democrats are lashing out at longtime Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her decision to run for reelection in a district with a majority black population.

Wasserman Schultz was first elected to Congress in 2004 to represent Florida’s 25th District.

However, Wasserman Schultz is now running in Florida’s 20th Congressional District after Republican lawmakers redistricted and reshaped the map.

Wasserman Shultz is now running in an area that was represented by Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, a black lawmaker who resigned earlier this year after she was indicted on fraud charges.

Black Democrats are now coming for Wasserman Schultz and attacking her for running in district with a large black population.

The Hill reported:

Some Black Democrats are frustrated with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s (D-Fla.) decision to run in a South Florida congressional district home to a large Black voting population, sparking an intraparty clash that is poised to become a defining battle of the campaign season.

Wasserman Schultz, a veteran lawmaker who has served in Congress since 2005, is running in Florida’s 20th Congressional District, which had been represented by former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) for four years before she resigned in April. Wasserman Schultz’s bid comes after GOP-led redistricting efforts in the state reshaped her current 25th District, making it far more favorable for Republicans.

But her political opponents and other critics argue that her move not only disregards the district’s unique history and undermines opportunities for Black political representation, but is also a slight to Black voters.

“I think, for sure, it was a bad move by the congresswoman to run in this district. It was selfish and all about her, her career, and not about the community. She failed to do any meaningful dialogue with the community before announcing her run, and it comes off as a hostile takeover of the district,” said Elijah Manley, a 27-year-old Black Democrat and progressive organizer running against her in the primary.

“I mean, so many people she ignored and didn’t have conversations with, from the Florida Legislative Black Caucus, and the chair of that caucus as well, to the Black elected officials.”

Khanna: California ‘Messed Up Housing’, ‘We Have Too Much Regulation’

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) stated that California has “messed up housing in this state. We have too much regulation, zoning where we don’t build. We’ve made it very, very hard to build, and that’s been a failure.”

Khanna said, “[W]e’ve done certain things right. We have excellent higher education. The U.C.’s, the California states. And it’s led to, of course, a lot of innovation, $20 trillion in my district, right?”

He added, “But we’ve messed up housing in this state. We have too much regulation, zoning where we don’t build. We’ve made it very, very hard to build, and that’s been a failure. And any person being honest about it needs to acknowledge that we’ve put roadblocks onto building housing. And that would be, in my view, be the biggest failure. And that’s what Fareed was saying that the housing policy here has been bad.”

Khanna added that there are “issues” within the state’s K-12 system.

News Outlet Caves to Democratic Senate Candidate, Kills Poll That Makes Her Look Bad

The already-dramatic Democratic primary contest in Michigan just got a new plot twist.

A poll run on behalf of a news outlet ended up getting killed from coverage after complaints from the third-place candidate’s campaign, according to Politico.

And one of the nation’s best-known pollsters has gone public with his contempt for the decision.

Washington Beltway-based Politico reported Wednesday that state Sen. Mallory McMorrow’s campaign raised serious questions about the poll’s results with Michigan Information & Research Service, a news outlet that covers the state’s lawmakers in Lansing.

It’s understandable that any campaign might object to a poll that shows its candidates with single-digit support — and the poll in question had McMorrow at only 6 percent.

The race’s two leaders, meanwhile, were “Dr.” Abdul El-Sayed — a far-left progressive endorsed by socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders and a candidate who has made potentially questionable claims to being a physician — and U.S. Rep. Haley Stephens, a more establishment pick who has been endorsed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

El-Sayed had 42 percent support, according to the poll. Stevens had 33 percent.

With the Aug. 4 state primary date fast approaching, the McMorrow team hit back hard.

According to Politico, the campaign approached Michigan Information & Research Service with serious questions about the poll’s findings — beyond the dismal showing of the candidate herself — the only Caucasian among the three serious contenders.

For instance, Politico reported, the poll found zero percent of black voters saying they were undecided. Stevens, a black woman, dominated in that demographic with 69 percent, according to the poll, while El-Sayed, the son of Egyptian immigrants, brought in 31 percent.

It also found Stevens with only 5 percent support in Oakland County, her home base, according to Politico.

Kyle Melinn, a news editor with Michigan Information & Research Service, told Politico the news outlet abandoned coverage of the poll after hearing from McMorrow’s campaign.

However, he said he first talked to other pollsters about concerns about the poll’s findings. He said they agreed there was a problem.

MIRS didn’t run with the poll, Melinn told Politico, “because I didn’t feel comfortable with it.”

The pollster behind the survey, Steve Mitchell of Mitchell Research & Communications, told Politico that McMorrow’s campaign put “intense pressure” on MIRS not to run with the poll.

“The poll, in the eyes of the McMorrow campaign, understated their support,” Mitchell, whose firm Mitchell Research & Communications conducted and paid for the poll, told Politico. “And they put intense pressure on MIRS, and therefore MIRS decided that they weren’t going to run the survey. That’s their decision, and I support their decision.”

One potential area of concern was the method used to solicit responses. According to Politico, the poll relied on the technique known as “text to web,” in which potential respondents are contacted by text. If they are participating in the survey, they go to a link included in the text to fill out their answers.

According to Politico, McMorrow’s campaign said that it opened the door to text recipients abusing the link, either by participating in the poll numerous times or passing the link on to others who aren’t part of the initial polling survey. That could have polluted the results.

However, Nate Silver, founder of the polling website FiveThirtyEight and a national voice when it comes to political polling, published a post on the social media platform X Wednesday, excoriating the MIRS decision.

Happy Juneteenth Holiday – The New US Holiday Where Democrats Try to Make You Forget About Their Racist Slave Owner Past

Happy Juneteenth!

Today is the day the United States celebrates Juneteenth, a little-known date that was recently dug up to divert attention from the slave owner past of the Democrat Party and the real civil rights achievements by brave Republicans who fought to free the slaves.

When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincoln liberated the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to punish blacks. Democrats discriminated against blacks. In fact, the KKK was founded as the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.

The Ku Klux Klan assassinated many Republicans, including Republican Representative James M. Hinds (December 5, 1833—October 22, 1868) of Little Rock. Hinds represented Arkansas in the United States Congress from June 24, 1868, through October 22, 1868, before his violent death.

Damani Felder took to X and DESTROYED the liberal narrative behind the recent Juneteenth Holiday.

Damani Felder: I’m about to ruin Juneteenth for some of y’all, but it needs to be said. Juneteenth only exists because Democrats did not want to give up their slaves. And even now in the present day, they still do not want to give them up. And let me tell you why. Juneteenth actually exists because Union General Gordon Granger had to go down to the beaches of Galveston, Texas on June 19th, 1865 to tell the slaves there that they were free.

Now, those of you who understand history realize Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation two-and-a-half years earlier on January 1st, 1863. So what happened in that two-and-a-half years period? Basically, the Southern Democrat slave owners kept their own slaves in the dark because they did not want to give those slaves up and remove those literal chains. So Gordon Granger had to go all the way down there and tell the slaves they were free. And if he had not, then many Democrats would’ve kept those chains on those slaves forever.

People are gonna hear that information and feel some kind of way. I don’t really care about that. What I care about is the fact that yes, Joe Biden made this a national holiday because it was originally only a state holiday here in Texas until very recently. But he did this intentionally because the Democratic Party wants to rewrite history and they’re doing everything in their power to to do that and to distance themselves from their own negative history.

People will now say, oh, well, the party switched.

And the reason they say that is because they do not want you to realize that the very same reason that those Southern Democrat slave owners did not want to tell the slaves they were free is the same reason they will not tell people today that they are free and can actually make their own choices, which is why they keep individuals in the Black community shackled to the Democrat Party, shackled to the inner cities that don’t serve them, and shackled to policies that ultimately do not serve their best interests. So the fact of the matter is, someone can sit there and complain and say, oh, the party switched. Oh, you’re rewriting history. No, I’m telling you the actual facts. You can look them up for yourselves, but you are the one who has to make the decision to take those chains off.

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger Picks LGBT Activist Who Fought Girls’ Bathroom Protections for State Board Role

Virginia’s Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger has chosen and LGBT activist who has fought against protections for girls’ bathrooms to sit on a state board that directly influences related policies.

During the election, Spanberger regularly dodged questions on this issue when asked by reporters. No we know why.

Her decision to appoint this person to this role just shows that Democrats have not changed at all. They are not budging on this issue and will go right back to where they were before the 2024 election the instant they retake power.

FOX News reports:

Spanberger taps LGBTQ activist who fought girls’ bathroom protections for state board

Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger appointed an LGBTQ activist who pushed back against efforts to bar biological males from girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms to a state advisory board that helps shape recommendations on LGBTQ-related policies.

Spanberger’s appointment of Kellen MacBeth on May 22, who previously led the LGBTQ nonprofit Equality Arlington, follows a gubernatorial campaign during which she ran as a moderate and sidestepped questions about transgender participation in women’s sports and access to female-only spaces.

MacBeth, the founder of Equality Arlington, has become one of Northern Virginia’s most visible LGBTQ advocates. Under his leadership, Equality Arlington has urged Virginia school districts to implement policies allowing transgender students to use bathrooms that align with their “gender identity” and has encouraged local governments to resist efforts to reverse those protections. The organization also advocated for preserving transgender-inclusive policies in Arlington Public Schools despite federal pressure to change them.

MacBeth has also opposed Virginia legislation that would require schools to notify parents when a student identifies as transgender or permit parents to exempt their children from classroom instruction involving LGBTQ-related topics.

Hillary Accidentally Revealed the Dems’ Big Secret About Joe Biden

Hillary Clinton sat down with The New Yorker’s David Remnick and, in between trying to rewrite her own role in the Joe Biden disaster, let slip the one admission Democrats have spent a year trying to bury.

Everyone’s talking about Hillary calling Biden’s reelection bid a “terrible mistake,” but to me, that’s not even the biggest reveal in the interview.

“He made a terrible mistake,” Hillary said. “He made a terrible mistake for himself, his legacy, and for the country.” She went on to claim that if Biden had stepped aside as promised, “we would have had a real contest,” and whoever emerged from it “would have beaten Donald Trump.” That’s hilarious considering she enthusiastically endorsed that very bid back in 2023. Now that the wreckage is impossible to ignore. Once again, Democrats are rushing to rewrite history and their roles in the cover-up.

But that was the headline-grabbing part. It’s also the least interesting part.

The real story was right after, when Remnick pushed Hillary on why none of the Democrat Party’s supposedly powerful voices, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, or Hillary herself, said anything publicly before Biden’s catastrophic June 2024 debate against Trump.

Her answer was extremely revealing.

“I think there were a lot of conversations going on behind the scenes,” Hillary said. “I certainly am aware of that, and participated in a number of them, but there was no way to convince him by going public.”

Read that again. Private conversations. Plural. Before the debate. She was a part of some of them.

The official Democrat Party story has been that Biden’s meltdown on that debate stage was a shocking, one-off event that nobody saw coming, and that the party only began discussing his viability afterward. Hillary just torched that narrative herself. She admitted that efforts to push Biden out were already underway behind closed doors well before he ever stumbled through a sentence on stage.
